Just for a day

John T. Huddy

If I could be myself for just one day,
      I would Iie in a golden field of rye,
          and gaze upon the bright blue sky,
               until heaven fell upon my brow,
                    until the change of seasons
                    enveloped me.

To touch the Earth
     Study a grain of sand,
          Smell the wild flower's fresh aroma,
     Nature in its purest forms
     Valhalla in its simplest dimension

To bend like a tree
     swaying in a noontime breeze,
     stretching limbs out into the air,
          moving in dance to the rhythms of the wind.
               To fly like a bird, free as could be
                    To go anywhere at any speed.

If I could be myself for just one day,
     I would lie in a golden field of rye
          and gaze upon the bright blue sky,
               until heaven fell upon my brow,
                    until the change of seasons
                    enveloped me.
